NEW JAGUAR F-TYPE - DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS INFOGRAPHIC

The two‑seat sports car offers a perfect balance of performance and driver reward with an even more muscular, assertive design and a cabin defined by rich, luxurious materials and beautiful details.

The range of powerful, responsive engines includes four‑, six‑ and eight‑cylinder options*, all matched to eight‑speed Quickshift transmissions with full manual control using either the SportShift gear selector or the steering wheel‑mounted paddles.

Design the most beautiful sports car, with purity, proportion and presence that’s unmistakably Jaguar: that was the challenge we set ourselves. The new F‑TYPE is more dramatic than ever, with even greater clarity of purpose in every line, surface and feature, and embodies true Jaguar design DNA.

State‑of‑the‑art technologies together with luxurious materials and finishes deliver beauty with purpose in an interior which will delight driver and passenger alike even before the engine starts and the journey begins. Jaguar has been making sports cars for more than 70 years, and that rich heritage has inspired the team to create something truly extraordinary.

F‑TYPE’s award‑winning design has evolved still further with a focus on even greater purity and discipline to the perfectly‑sculpted form. Super‑slim pixel LED headlights** with subtly updated signature ‘Calligraphy’ J daytime running lights, and sweeping direction indicators, blend perfectly into the ‘liquid metal’ surfacing of the new clamshell bonnet, exaggerating the car’s visual width and accentuating its assertive stance. The new front bumper and subtly enlarged grille deliver even more visual impact and presence.

The rear haunches enhance the F‑TYPE’s inherently dramatic, purposeful form, while the new slender rear lights combine an unmistakable LED chicane signature, introduced by the Jaguar I‑PACE all‑electric Performance SUV, with subtle monogram pattern detailing and a fine ‘pinstripe’ beneath.

The new F‑TYPE is the definitive Jaguar sports car and continues to set the benchmark for design purity, driver engagement and reward, and a truly visceral driving experience – it makes every journey extraordinary.
Its timeless looks are more assertive than ever, technologies such as the high‑definition virtual instrument cluster deepen the driver‑focused feel of the interior, while the range of powertrains offers a breadth of choice unrivalled in the segment. Enthusiasts will appreciate the new F‑TYPE R’s 575PS supercharged V8, enhanced chassis and intelligent all‑wheel drive system, which deliver truly outstanding performance in all conditions while retaining its inherent tractability and usability.

The interior combines traditional Jaguar craftsmanship with rich, contemporary materials such as Windsor Leather and satin‑finish Noble Chrome. Beautiful details include monogram stitch patterns in the seats and door trims, Jaguar Leaper motifs in the headrests, and subtle ‘Jaguar Est.1935’ markings on the centre console finisher, glovebox release button surround, and seatbelt guides.

The 12.3‑inch reconfigurable HD TFT instrument cluster offers a choice of different displays, including full map mode but, as befits a true sports car, the default mode is characterised by the large central rev counter. This feature and the gearshift light subtly convey the F‑TYPE’s driver‑focused character and performance potential.
